American I am just a fabrication of your imagination.
Resentment spirals into a state of loathing, A waging war as the voices inside my head Contemplate the complexity of a twisted notation. Forgiveness our perpetual theme, a miscreant in abstract form. To forgive I must bear the scars that were carved within me; To forget I must paint the past into a hollow existence. But to forever resent, I condemn myself To a cage spent in eternal despair.

Forgiveness
A burdened consciousness for a guilty crown, A throne of thorns for the wolf in bliss; Bestowed and veiled with royal blood, Hallowed be thy serpents tongue, Stitched and sewn, a kingdom bound; This wretch a corpse, your newfound queen.

A blank canvas, we paint our existence into the span of eternity. The ironic narcissism as one bleeds out, creating immortality in their own image.

Ramblings
Within thy locked doors to a barren hollow, lost behind such cobwebs old. The decrepit memories that once consumed, have forgotten such horror stories told.

Cobwebs
Left in limbo the divine shall dwell, who Where tossed again into this place called hell. The eerily walk up above, who resemble The souls that we once loved. Carved in flesh these sins we bare, With a burden of hope that was never there. Thirteen trumpets sound as the black bells ring, The cracking of whips as the bloodless sing, To the rotting carriage that doth now appear, Screams from the abyss as the dead cower in fear. Stained in blood, and trimmed with black and gold Fashioned for death to bring in the life’s of old. The stitches swan through lips they weave, the void now Gone as the dead now grieve. Wronged I am a man now pleas.. A Grinning stare as death doth tease. Fare thee well you wretched things, in hell you’ll dwell and Live as king’s eternal life I give to you A loving home with a prodigious view. A cackling laughter echoes with thunderous Roar a glimpse into the heavens as death climbs from the Abyss once more. ****** we souls, divine we few, Into the fire these lives we threw.. Unlovely realm, unloving tomb A wretched existence now filled with gloom.

The Unlovely Realm
Under the weight of this dawning light, there is nothing left but a hollow soul. I gave everything I had for a glimpse of the future, a taste of the place we will soon call home. Lovers and friends have withered away. Tormented with life I stay the same the wrinkles of age have left me untouched. Signatures in blood will leave your veins dry. All the vibrant colors and shades that fill in the cryptic grey are left meaningless when walking down desolated roads. These grains of sand fall motionless, tormenting time and the reapers call, trapped in shadows and lost in the essence of sanity. Overwhelmed with desire for the crimson flow, I’m alone in this world a wanderer. As the autumn leaves blow a youth in the mirror and a corpse deep down inside, a glimpse of the future and a withering past tormented with a life, that will always last.

THE LAST SUNRISE
I awake beneath the midnight hour. A barren scene, but I do not cower. I stand alone, amongst the stars. Bare I stand as I shed my scars. The winter cold beneath my feet, steadily, I await that final beat Concluding breaths escape with ease. A lasting thought as Death doth tease. One last look to the stars above Forever a portrait that I shall love.

WAKING DREAMS
We descendents of the grave eternal But I the betrayed below heaven’s gate Thy body shall be left decayed as the tormenting vultures watch from above My skin begins to crawl as maggots feast upon my flesh Blessed is the raven among doves for grim is his world but clings to that he loves Autumn burns as I lie beneath the crescent moon and as ashes become thy fate death shall grin.

ETERNITY
© Open eyes and still dreams or eerie sky's. a bottomless pit that rots the mind As endless sights come into view we're worlds apart an alternate reality. a crooked clock on broken wings its tears of glass will pierce the seams. Reversed in time as time falls forward we dream to fly but fall in dreams. Eclipsed by shadows as the day light fades do you trust your mind as it slips away? Were just a negative photograph through a broken lens not picture perfect but torn apart at its ends. it’s who we are its how we feel who are you to tell us what is real were all mad here.

WERE ALL MAD HERE
©  oh this emptiness such sorrow did fill thy tortured soul with you such depths we fell I know this true through life and death we shall live like basking gods on thrones so high with love and the promise of rotting apples will you be my eternity?
